The NWTF is dedicated to the conservation of the wild turkey and the preservation of our hunting heritage.
About us
In 1973, the National Wild Turkey Federation was founded in Fredericksburg, Va., as a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit conservation and education organization with a mission dedicated to conservation of the wild turkey and preservation of our hunting heritage. Shortly thereafter the NWTF relocated to Edgefield, S.C., where it's still headquartered today. At the time the NWTF was established, there were only 1.3 million wild turkeys. Today that number stands at more than 6.2 million birds throughout North America, thanks to the efforts of state, federal and provincial wildlife agencies, the NWTF and its members and partners. Growth and progress define the NWTF as it has expanded from 1,300 members in 1973 to more than 230,000 today. With that growth has come impressive strides in wildlife management as the NWTF has forged dynamic partnerships across the country to further its conservation mission. Together, the NWTF's partners, sponsors and grassroots members have raised and spent more than $500 million upholding hunting traditions and conserving more than 23 million acres of wildlife habitat. While wild turkey restoration is nearing completion, the NWTF still has much work to do. Across North America, supporters are working to enhance habitat for wild turkeys and other wildlife while providing hunters with more opportunities and access to public and private land. In addition, NWTF volunteers and partners are introducing youth, women and people with disabilities to the outdoors through special educational events.

A new national report shows that investing in fish and wildlife conservation fuels over $115 Billion in economic activity and supports 575,000+ jobs across the country. From habitat restoration to public-access projects, these efforts form the foundation of the $1.1 trillion outdoor recreation economy — proving once again that the outdoors pays big dividends. NWTF Co-CEO Jason Burckhalter said it best: "For the many Americans who have experienced the life-changing power of the outdoors, the conservation of our country's wildlife and wild places is self-evidently one of the greatest aspects of our nation. This report emphasizes how conservation efforts bolster our beloved traditions and enrich our experiences outside, and it illustrates how our conservation efforts create a powerful engine for our nation’s economy."
